LIV Golf Is Preparing for Possible Bankruptcy

By Paige·

A new report says LIV Golf is exploring bankruptcy as a backup plan if it cannot secure new investors. The league says it is still focused on finding funding and building a long-term future.

LIV Golf Is Preparing for Possible Bankruptcy

LIV Golf is reportedly preparing for the possibility of filing for bankruptcy if it cannot raise new funding before the end of the 2026 season. According to reports from Bloomberg and Reuters, league executives are working with advisers to explore Chapter 11 as a last resort while they continue searching for investors.

The financial uncertainty comes after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund decided to stop funding LIV Golf after the current season. Since the league launched in 2022, the fund has invested billions of dollars to sign top players and build the tour into a rival to the PGA Tour.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has said the organization is in talks with private equity firms, family offices, and wealthy investors. Reports indicate the league may be seeking around $250 million to continue operations and move toward profitability over the next two years.

LIV Golf has not confirmed that bankruptcy is imminent and says it remains focused on securing a deal that supports its long-term future. Still, the report raises major questions about what could happen to the league and its players if new funding does not arrive before the season ends in August.
